I would suggest taking the carb apart and cleaning it right off the bat.
None of the magic cleaning stuff does anything but relieve your wallet of the weight of cash.

You are going to have to do it anyways, so no point in messing about until thats done.
And you need to run a thin piece of wire (copper or brass, softer then the jets themselves) or similar through the jets so you actually clean them.
Optional is to buy a kit that has new jets, but that seems expensive and unnecessary (unless someone has already "fixed" the jets for you).

If car carbs are anything like bike carbs, you need to strip it down and dunk the whole thing in an ultrasonic cleaner filled with an appropriate solvent.

Then of course the turbo 5-pot Volvo swap.
